On the Elsner website the colour is far bolder but 'in the flesh' it's even better! Sadly, no scent but very happy with this one and can hardly wait for Kuntrarti Rarashati to flower! There's a new leaf emerging so hopefully there might be a spike to accompany it.

No, there was never any mention of a scent but it woulda been great if it had! The two spikes made it top heavy so I had to use four pieces of wire to stabilise + hang the plant. Then I had to use string to pull up the spikes and attach it to the suspension wire - THEN I made a spacer out of a plant label to keep the spikes apart - easy! LOL

I had to collect the bark a few times to refill the pot because the bloomin flowers (no pun intended ) kept tipping it over. I thought I was going to lose them - I could almost hear the snap of the spikes. It was touch n go for a while lol. |
